Benedetto Panetta began learning the craft of jewelry in Italy, and when he moved to the United States, he worked first for Trifari in the 1930s and later for Pennino Brothers before opening his own line with his sons. After his death in 1960, his sons later sold the business and it closed in 1995. His jewelry was made in small batches making it highly sought after by collectors today.
